Lettuce can't connect to Redis Cluster using SSL but can connect to same Redis server using SSL by treating it as a Standalone node

I’ve an Azure Cache for Redis – Premium and Cluster enabled. I’ve been trying to connect to that Redis using spring-boot-starter-data-redis (spring boot version: 2.3.4.RELEASE, Java version: 11) and using lettuce client but Lettuce is throwing the following SSL exception when I am treating my Redis as a Redis Cluster but connects just fine when using it as a Standalone Redis server.

My pom.xml dependencies are:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-redis</artifactId>

            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Java code:

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.data.redis.RedisProperties;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

import org.springframework.data.redis.connection.lettuce.LettuceClientConfiguration;
import org.springframework.data.redis.connection.lettuce.LettuceConnectionFactory;
import org.springframework.data.redis.core.StringRedisTemplate;


@Configuration
class LettuceConfig {

    @Bean
    StringRedisTemplate getStringRedisTemplate(final RedisProperties redisProperties) {
        return new StringRedisTemplate(getRedisConnectionFactory(redisProperties));
    }

    @Bean
    RedisConnectionFactory getRedisConnectionFactory(final RedisProperties redisProperties) {
    
        final RedisNode redisNode = RedisNode.newRedisNode()
                .listeningAt(redisProperties.getHost(), redisProperties.getPort())
                .build();

        // Connecting as a Redis Cluster
        final RedisClusterConfiguration redisClusterConfiguration = new RedisClusterConfiguration();
        redisClusterConfiguration.addClusterNode(redisNode);
        redisClusterConfiguration.setPassword(RedisPassword.of(redisProperties.getPassword()));

        // Connecting as a Standalone Redis server
        final RedisStandaloneConfiguration redisStandaloneConfiguration = new RedisStandaloneConfiguration();
        redisStandaloneConfiguration.setHostName(redisProperties.getHost());
        redisStandaloneConfiguration.setPort(redisProperties.getPort());
        redisStandaloneConfiguration.setPassword(RedisPassword.of(redisProperties.getPassword()));

        final LettuceClientConfiguration.LettuceClientConfigurationBuilder lettuceClientConfigurationBuilder =
                LettuceClientConfiguration.builder()
                .clientName(redisProperties.getClientName())
                .commandTimeout(redisProperties.getTimeout());

        if (redisProperties.isSsl()) {
            lettuceClientConfigurationBuilder.useSsl();
        }

        final LettuceClientConfiguration lettuceClientConfiguration = lettuceClientConfigurationBuilder.build();

        return new LettuceConnectionFactory(redisClusterConfiguration, lettuceClientConfiguration);
    }
}

@SpringBootApplication
public class LettuceClusterApplication implements CommandLineRunner {

    private final StringRedisTemplate stringRedisTemplate;

    @Autowired
    public LettuceClusterApplication(final StringRedisTemplate stringRedisTemplate) {
        this.stringRedisTemplate = stringRedisTemplate;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(LettuceClusterApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Override
    public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
        System.out.println(stringRedisTemplate.hasKey("abc"));
    }
}

When using redisStandaloneConfiguration in new LettuceConnectionFactory(..., ...), the code works just fine, but if I use redisClusterConfiguration, the code fails with the following exception:

My application.properties file:

spring.redis.host = <redacted>.redis.cache.windows.net
spring.redis.port = 6380
spring.redis.password = <redacted>
spring.redis.ssl = true
spring.redis.clientName = ${HOSTNAME}
spring.redis.timeout = 100000

Update: Found a similar issue in Github: https://github.com/lettuce-io/lettuce-core/issues/246 but it says that it should work with lettuce versions > 4.2 and my lettuce-core version (bundled under spring-boot-starter-data-redis) is 5.3.4.RELEASE.
Also worth checking out is the documentation which states the same: https://lettuce.io/core/release/reference/#ssl

Lettuce supports SSL connections since version 3.1 on Redis Standalone connections and since version 4.2 on Redis Cluster
